Intenso

I purchased them in mid-April 2024, and upon checking, they were manufactured on February 23, 2024. Despite being a couple of months old, I find them to be in excellent condition. With an expiration date of February 2026, they appear to have a decent shelf life ahead. Having been a dedicated consumer of illy coffee for about two decades, I was eager to try out their E.S.E. pods. While I have long used illy's iperespresso capsules, I've become increasingly mindful of the environmental impact of plastic pods. Therefore, I was pleased to discover that the E.S.E. pods offer a more eco-friendly alternative. I purchased the new espresso machine from illy that can brew ground coffee and these E.S.E. pods. As someone who values both convenience and quality, I must say, they have exceeded my expectations. The Intenso Dark Roast, in particular, provides a strong and full-bodied flavor that I thoroughly enjoy, making it an ideal choice for my morning coffee fix. I highly recommend illy's E.S.E. pods to fellow coffee enthusiasts looking for a convenient and environmentally conscious brewing option.

I use these ESE pods with a Braville Espresso machine with ESE insert. I most like the packaging- the envelope is large enough where the tab is not caught on the edge seal like most other brands. The flavor is intense espresso which I wanted to make different drinks. Each pod will make up to 2oz before overprocessing and loosing it strength. I like 1.5oz cup for each. The head is perfect each time. I just ordered more.

Use it to use with my machine and makes good coffee

Delicious and easy to use!!!

One of my favorite espresso coffees, packaged in easy-to-use ESE pods.

Tastes great and a lot less messy than regular espresso with my home espresso machine!

I’ve ordered this twice. Both times, I received coffee that was past the “best before” date. The coffee I ordered 8/31/25 was marked “best before” the end of 2/25. The coffee I ordered 10/21/25 was marked “best before” the end of 8/25. This was not disclosed on the listing. I didn’t realize the coffee was already past the “best before” date when I received it or I would not have ordered again.

So easy to use but seemed like the tab was being put in the opposite way in the instructions the reason for this is if it sticks to the unit itself then it’s easy to pull out I buy these for two reasons the taste which is nice and strong and ease of use no mess to clean up and a mess always happens at the Least opportunistic times Thanks for reading JRQ

Le compte est bon, mais les capsules ont été livrées en vrac dans un carton en lieu et place des boîtes distributrices .

ビアレッティ モキッシマで使っています。味は酸味が少なくアメリカーノにしてもおいしいです。カフェラテはミルクフォームさえちゃんと作れれば、チェーンのカフェやコンビニのものより確実においしいものが入れられます。パッケージもおしゃれ。

Bien et pratique pour les machines

Sehr gut

Nice coffee. Not the best but a useful back up when I can’t be bothered to grind beans by hand. ESE pods make the task of making a quick espresso very easy
